Has anyone done this? I was thinking about doning it for days like today that I'm not as active. Just wanting to see how you like it.

    here is how MFP puts it

    Change Handling of Partner Adjustments

    If you have linked your MyFitnessPal account to a device or app that measures your total calorie burn (Fitbit, Bodymedia, etc.), check this box to allow negative calorie adjustments from that partner to appear on your exercise diary. Otherwise, only positive adjustments will be allowed. Changes to this setting will be in effect only for adjustments received from that point on (past adjustments will not be restated).

    A negative adjustment means that your projected calorie burn for the day from the partner is below MyFitnessPal's initial estimate. If you are unable to sync your tracking device until late in the day, or if you don't consistently use your tracking device, you may prefer not to enable negative adjustments.

    I did it for awhile... decided I didn't like it. I tend to eat more on my less active days and less on my more active days... strange I know. Anyways it would tell me I was over by a ton because of the negative adjustment and the next day under by a lot. I didn't like it.

    Mine is Enabled, and has just recently stopped allowing me to go below 1200. In the past when i woke up in the morning i would have a negative adj. of about 20-30 calories. This would quickly disappear as i got moving for the day, but now it does not adjust until I have a positve adjustment. Has anyone noticed this. If i enter a workout in the morning it will adjust it with negative adjustment until I am above my bmr however. So the negative adjustment is working. Just curious if anyone else noticed this.
